[Adduser-devel] dummy variables vs. undef

Hi,

in the adduser script dummy variables are used in line 705/706 (sub 
existing_user_ok) and 734/735 (sub existing_group_ok).
You can use the keyword undef for that.
E.g.:

- my ($dummy1,$dummy2,$uid);
- if (($dummy1,$dummy2,$uid) = getpwnam($new_name)) {
+ my ($uid);
+  if ((undef,undef,$uid) = getpwnam($new_name)) {

cheers
